Here we are again with the Friday Face Off meme created by Books by Proxy .  This is a great opportunity to feature some of your favourite book covers.  The rules are fairly simple each week, following a predetermined theme (list below) choose a book, compare a couple of the different covers available for that particular book and choose your favourite.   Future week’s themes are listed below – I’ll be updating the list next week to include themes for 20202, if you have a cover in mind that you’re really wanting to share then feel free to leave a comment about a future suggested theme.  I’ve also listed events that take place during the year, that I’m aware of, so you can link up your covers – if you’re aware of any events that you think I should include then give me a shout.  This week’s theme is:

A cover that is Futuristic

This week I’ve gone for a book that I really enjoyed by Andy Weir, the second book that I read by this author, I loved The Martian and couldn’t wait to read Artemis.  Here is my review and here are the covers for my book this week : Artemis by Andy Weir

The Covers:

 

This week my favourite is:

Artemis2

Which is your favourite?

I’ve included events that I’m aware of so that you can perhaps link your themes up where possible (if you know of an event you’d like to share then let me know in the comments).  I also have a list prepared for 2020 and so will set up a separate page soon for forthcoming themes.  As always, if you wish to submit an idea then leave me a comment.

Next week –  A cover that is 60s sci fi

Future themes: (if you’re struggling with any of these themes then use a ‘freebie’ or one of your favourite covers)

“big badda boom” – a cover that features an explosion

So, I found this a lot more difficult than I expected.   Hope it was easier for everyone else.  Anyway though, I found a book that was recommended to me a good number of years ago, but I forgot the name and one thing led to another and I basically forgot.  Has anybody read this one: On the Beach by Nevil Shute:

My favourite:

OTB3

I hope this week is another nice and easy one.  I just scrolled back through my media library and it was a doddle.  I’ve gone for a sci fi cover because I’m linking this in with @SciFiMonth).   My book this week is Skyward (Skyward #1) by Brandon Sanderson  – which is a book I loved and I’m so excited about No.2.

For me, the choice is easy this week and it’s also a cover that really fits the theme:

Skyward1

For Halloween – pick any scary cover you like

Hopefully this week is easier than last week?  I can’t wait to see what you’ve all come up with.  This week I’ve gone for a whole mishmash of covers – I couldn’t choose one so I picked a few – see which one grabs you:

So difficult to pick a favourite but I do love the cover for I am Legend:

I am Legend

Friday Face Off : “It’s your favorite scary movie, remember? He had on the white mask, he stalked the babysitters.”

FFO

I have wi-fi – finally.  I’ll be catching up with lots of posts and checking out all the posts I’ve missed!  Seriously – you don’t realise how much you love your wifi until you don’t have it.  Anyway, onto the FFO.

Here we are again with the Friday Face Off meme created by Books by Proxy .  This is a great opportunity to feature some of your favourite book covers.  The rules are fairly simple each week, following a predetermined theme (list below) choose a book, compare a couple of the different covers available for that particular book and choose your favourite.   Future week’s themes are listed below – the list has been updated to help out those of you who like to plan ahead – if you have a cover in mind that you’re really wanting to share then feel free to leave a comment about a future suggested theme.  I’ve also listed events that take place during the year, that I’m aware of, so you can link up your covers – if you’re aware of any events that you think I should include then give me a shout.  This week’s theme is:

“It’s your favorite scary movie, remember? He had on the white mask, he stalked the babysitters.” – A cover featuring a scream

Well, I thought this was going to be very easy – how wrong I was!!  Haha, there you go.  I hope you all found it a bit easier than I did.  This week I’ve chosen My Soul to Take (Soul Screamers #1) by Rachel Vincent – to be honest, this isn’t a series that worked for me at the time – perhaps I should have given it more of a chance, There were more covers than I expected so clearly it was popular:

Nothing really stands out for me this week for some reason and so I’m going with the cover that’s different and stands out from the othersMy Soul3
